Arabic Gum

Arabic Gum, obtained from the stems and branches of Acacia Senegal or Acacia Seyal trees, is a dried exudation. While there are over 1100 Acacia species globally, these two remain the most commercially exploited. They are exclusively found in Sudan, Chad, Senegal, and Nigeria, forming part of the Arabic Gum belt. Sudan plays a significant role as a major exporter of Arabic Gum..

Arabic Gum finds widespread use in various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, encapsulated flavors, high-fiber formulations, and painting

Arabic Gum is packed in 25/50 KG PP bags, 22 metric tons in 20 feet containers.
